Fantastic idea! I run too and I try to take toys with us but have to stop every 30 sec to pick up toys that my daughter biffed onto the road lol. Will give this a try:) thanks Come on over and visit us http://jadaroo.blogspot.com/

Maddie and I aren't morning people so she definitely needs her alone time in the morning. While she is munching on breakfast and playing in the playroom I head to my room for 30-60 minutes on the elliptical machine. No I am not a morning person and I try to talk myself out of it every morning- just one day off!- though it never happens and I ended getting in my morning workout. It work for now at least.

Then I try to fit in some crunches and push-up throughout the day. Every time I have to go upstairs I do 20 push-ups on the stairs....they add up quickly on laundry days!

Workout? What's that? Oh, you mean doing the Humpty Dumpty bounce-child-on-knees-40jillion-times workout? He he, I'm being silly, because I do not work out in the strictest sense, but my daughter does keep me on the go!

@ Meg -- It's still "Ugh" when I try to exercise but at least I'm trying -- that's what I keep telling myself. When it gets hard I use mantras like, "I'm Doing this for my heart.""I'm Doing this for my grandmothers who can't run anymore." "I'm Doing this to feel better.""I'm Doing this for my daughters" then, when it gets really hard I focus on the way I can feel my ass jiggle when I'm running and I tell myself, "Fell that? Keep running sister and it'll bounce a lot less!"
